Crowns and Bridges in Casino, NSW

Living through your daily life with decayed, cracked, or missing teeth can be challenging and consuming. Day-to-day functions like eating and chewing can be complicated, along with speaking clearly and even smiling. Many patients might also feel uncomfortable with how a gap in their smiles might look to strangers or people in their lives. 

At Centre Street Dental, we provide necessary dental services like dental crowns and bridges for patients in Casino, NSW and surrounding communities. We are there for patients who are interested in custom-fabricated restorations to bring back their smiles. Dr Greg Normoyle bring together art and science in a harmonious balance to create high-quality, reliable dental crowns and bridges.  

Teeth are created to be durable and endure tremendous biting force, but even the strongest substances are susceptible to erosion, tooth decay, teeth grinding, and poor oral habits. 

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns protect weakened and damaged teeth by covering the entire tooth, down to the gum line. The protected tooth can now easily bite down and chew without pain or fear of infection, further cracking, or any damage. 

Dental crowns help strengthen, cover, and stabilise many different oral health problems, including:

  • Cavity that is too large for a filling
  • Chipped or fractured teeth
  • Broken tooth
  • Enamel erosion from grinding teeth
  • After a root canal procedure
  • The visible portion of a dental implant
  • A stained tooth that is resistant to professional teeth whitening

Dental crowns typically take two to three weeks from start to finish, and many require two dental visits to our Casino dental practice. During our first dental appointment, our cosmetic dentist will prepare the tooth and construct a provisional crown. We will also take digital impressions to help make an accurate fit. Our dentists will place the provisional dental crown until the permanent crown is fabricated.

We craft our dental crowns to blend in seamlessly; no one will be able to tell you have a dental restoration. 

Are You Missing One or More Teeth?

Tooth loss is not an uncommon oral health problem, but without being addressed, it can easily lead to further tooth loss. When there is a space in your smile, existing teeth tend to shift towards the gap. Every tooth fulfils a role and function; when one tooth goes missing, it often creates a lot of strain and pressure on the remaining teeth. 

At Centre Street Dental, we offer tooth replacement options for patients who are interested in filling in gaps. 

Dr Normoyle may recommend a dental bridge for one or multiple missing teeth. Bridges are secured to neighbouring teeth and close the gap with a dental crown to look natural. couple with a beautiful smile

Like a dental crown, bridges typically take three weeks and require at least two dental visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Crowns are used to protect weakened teeth and reduce the chance of the teeth splitting. Teeth can become weak for a number of reasons. As soon as a tooth has a filling in it, its strength has been compromised. Small fillings have little impact but once more than half of the tooth is filling, then its structural integrity is in question. Root canal treated teeth are also compromised structurally and are far more prone to catastrophic fracture. Placing crowns on these teeth significantly reduces the risk of fracture and subsequent tooth loss.

If you have fillings or root filled teeth and would like to have these teeth assessed, we invite you to book in at Centre Street Dental for a consultation. We would be happy to let you know all options that are available.

Crowns are the strongest restoration that can be put into someone’s mouth. However, even crowns can chip or break over time. If this happens it is important to see your dentist to have the crown and the tooth underneath evaluated so that a treatment plan can be established. At Centre Street Dental in Casino, this is generally done as part of our active maintenance appointment. Crowns, like teeth and gums, need checking regularly to make sure that they are still able to do the job that they were made for and not becoming a trap for plaque and food because they are chipped or breaking.

If you have crowns in your mouth and it has been a while since your last dental examination, call us for an appointment and Dr Greg Normoyle can thoroughly examine your mouth including your crowns.

Chipped and worn teeth are often unsightly and can lead to a genuine lack of self confidence. The causes of chipping and wearing are varied and as such there are a range of treatments available. Small chips can usually be repaired by some simple bonding procedures.

Sometimes the teeth are not aligned properly and this can lead to unusual wear patterns in the teeth. At Centre Street Dental, our Invisalign Go system may be able to be used to realign the teeth prior to reshaping and restoring the teeth with bonding or porcelain veneers. If the wear is severe, then more extensive reconstructive work may be necessary.

At Centre Street Dental, we believe that it is important that our patients should know all of the available options and the pro’s and con’s of each of these options. It is only then that a truly informed decision can be made.

If you would like to know more about the options available for you, please book in for a consultation appointment with Dr Greg Normoyle.

At Centre Street Dental in Casino, our cosmetic treatments range from simple ‘at home’ whitening through to full smile design and reconstruction. If you have had braces in the past and now have some relapse tooth movement, we can use our ‘Invisalign Go’ system to re- straighten the teeth. Chipped and worn front teeth can be restored using tooth coloured bonding techniques or porcelain veneers or crowns. The range of treatments is vast and can suit nearly any budget.

Dr Greg Normoyle can complete a digital scan of your mouth and develop a digital smile design which can be transferred to your mouth using 3D printing technology. Then it is simply a matter of deciding what is right for you.

If you would like to know what cosmetic treatments would best suit you, call us today to organise a consultation.

Dental crowns are useful in many dental scenarios. Dr Greg Normoyle may recommend a dental crown if your tooth is damaged by severe decay or has cracked because of an injury.

Sometimes, patients ask for dental crowns are used as part of a cosmetic smile makeover treatment to transform a stained or a misshapen tooth that is detracting from the beauty of the smile.

Crowns and Bridges Technology

Intraoral Camera and Digital Scanner

Patient education is essential to us; we help guide patients in making informed and educated decisions regarding their oral health. Rather than just describing your oral condition to you, we find it more effective to show patients what our own dentists see when they look inside your mouth. 

This piece of technology has been the biggest game changer in our practice in terms of the services that we can offer our patients. Our digital scanners remove the need to take messy and uncomfortable moulds of your mouth. These scanners take highly accurate 3D images of the teeth.

We use these scans in the construction of crowns, bridges or implant crowns. We can also scan your mouth to digitally create a new smile for our Smile Makeover patients. This leads to more predictable results and happier patients.
